DL8000 Preset
The DL8000 Preset is a rugged electronic preset that
provides precise custody transfer batches for petroleum,
industrial chemicals, and other products. It accepts
volumetric and mass inputs from turbine, Coriolis,
ultrasonic, or other flow measurement devices using single
or linearized meter factors. (Pulse-generating meters are
recommended for improved valve closure accuracy.)
Temperature Compensation
The DL8000 can accept an input from an Analog Input or
RTD device. It then calculates a temperature volume
correction factor in accordance with the following
standards:
Hydrocarbon Standards
The DL8000 also performs density, temperature, and
pressure corrections using the latest standards and
accurately calculates delivered volumes at standard
conditions (60°F, 15°C, 20°C, or user-selectable) using
double precision math. The DL8000 can control and blend
up to four products sequentially or simultaneously (ratio
blending). It can control up to 10 additives through metered
injection, and can store up to 30 recipes for blending.



Density Correction

The DL8000 accepts density signals as a frequency, 4–20
mA, or through a communications device. It accepts inputs
from a flowing density meter (such as a Micro Motion
frequency densitometer or a Micro Motion Coriolis meter).
The DL8000 corrects observed density to standard
conditions and calculates the temperature and pressure
volume correction factors.

factors using up to 12 points to ensure accuracy over the
entire range of flow.
Reporting
The DL8000 generates reports in compliance with NIST
Handbook 44 – 2006 Edition and 2003 Update and NCWM
Publication 14.
Other Features








Archival storage of 200 transactions with up to four
batches each and 450 alarms.
Storage of the last 1000 weights & measures events (in
accordance with NIST Handbook 44).
Integral Weights & Measures switch.
Independent permissive sensing AC power.
Digital valve control with automatic high flow rate
recovery.
Independent temperature compensation methods for
individual products.
Automatically sensing or user-entered values for
thermal expansion and linear equation.
User-entered vapor pressure of light hydrocarbons.
Operations
The DL8000’s user-friendly multi-language display prompts
the operator through the entire loading sequence, assuring
a safe and reliable loading operation. The loading sequence
starts after the operator connects the safety circuits, selects
a recipe, enters a preset quantity, and presses the Start
button. The DL8000 automatically turns on the required
product pumps and additive injection equipment and opens
the digital flow control valves.
2
A low-flow start sequence can be initiated to reduce static
build-up when delivering petroleum products. To keep
loading time to a minimum, the DL8000 automatically
maintains the highest possible flow rate the system can
deliver. When additives are present, the maximum flow rate
is 2700 units/minute. Three different flow profiles for each
recipe provide maximum system flexibility regardless of the
meter size. When certain recipes require small percentages
of one or more components, you can configure the
programmable flow profiles to automatically deliver smallpercentage component(s) only during the high flow stage of
the delivery.
As the end of the batch sequence approaches, the
component streams slow to a pre-defined low-flow/stop
flow rate. The high-speed digital valve control algorithm,
working in conjunction with the linear digital control valve,
ensures a smooth, repeatable, low-flow/final stop without
line shock.
To assure product quality, you can program an automatic
single product line-flush sequence at the end of the delivery
to flush the loading arm with a single base product.
Blend Recipes
Memory allows up to 30 blend recipes. Each recipe has
individual totalizers and is highly configurable, providing
maximum flexibility.
Linearization
Multi-point linearization is programmable with up to 12
points. The DL8000 automatically interpolates between the
12-meter factor setpoints to assure system accuracy over
the required flow ranges.
Vapor Recovery
Measures the amount of returned or recovered vapor during
the loading of light hydrocarbons, and computes the Net
delivered for billing purposes. This feature is available for
mass delivery only and the delivered quantity will be equal
to the preset amount.
In addition, GPA TP-15 allows the DL8000 to calculate and
maintain the back pressure above the vapor pressure during
loading. This reduces vapor pressure loss and emissions.
Metered Additive Injection
Measures and controls the additive amount injected into the
product stream for up to ten additives. The injection site can
be selected as either upstream or downstream, and the
additive amount can be included in total or in addition to
the delivered quantity.
